Geert,

Thanks for packaging this. In fact, it used to be in pkgsrc/www but was 
removed because of lack of development and it stopped building and no 
maintenance.

I just built your package on NetBSD/i386 2.0.2 and received:

/usr/pkg/bin/skipstone-bin:      -lgtkembedmoz => not found
         -lplds4 => not found
         -lplc4 => not found
         -lnspr4 => not found
         -lxpcom => not found
*** The above programs/libs will not find the listed shared libraries
    at runtime. Please fix the package (add -Wl,-R.../lib in the right 
places)!
*** Error code 1

This was caused by the testing when setting
PKG_DEVELOPER=yes

Nevertheless, I see that the skipstone shell script sets the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH and so it does work.

Maybe anyways the RPATH should still be built into the executable.

I didn't try, but maybe set:
LDFLAGS+=       ${COMPILER_RPATH_FLAG}${PREFIX}/lib/${MOZILLA}

The past couple months I have been using firefox, galeon, and kazehakase 
-- and now I am glad to try skipstone again. I hope to find a browser that 
I like. (My wife uses Konqueror, Opera and Firefox as no single browser 
meets her needs either.)

Thanks again!

p.s. I also use elinks as my browser of choice. But I upgraded and it is 
slow and now it requires pressing Enter before typing on input line.
